Hi there, I'm Audrey, creator of Talking Hearts!!
Throughout the pandemic, I wanted a fun and easy way for people to connect beyond the ordinary "how was your day." After researching potential solutions, I found it really hard to find anything that had a playful element (or even included art!). As someone who loves making things, I knew I wanted to create it. As a result, I spent the last two years writing, editing, and playtesting a combination of hilarious and thought-provoking questions with cute retro illustrations, with the intention of bringing out the best in each person. After play testing and evolving it many times over with my partner, friends, and family, it was ready to see the light of day.
Three talented creatives contributed to this project, all working together to create the best game possible. We worked across three countries in the midst of a global pandemic to brainstorm, refine, and polish the game over the course of two years. Once I came up with the concept for the game, I got to work. I started drafting and researching all sorts of questions, and began sketching what now are the early stages of our game characters.
After two years of character design, graphic design, and editing the questions, we felt it was ready to see broad daylight. We hope you like it!
